Ingredients

• 200 grams Almond flour
• 125 grams Butter, melted
• 200 grams Erythritol sweetener
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams Sugar-free dark chocolate
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 4 pieces Daim bars without sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan with butter or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat together the eggs with vanilla extract until well-combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Slowly add the melted butter into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

While the cake is baking, prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 9

Remove the heavy cream from the heat, and add the sugar-free dark chocolate, letting it sit for a minute, then stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Crush the Daim bars into small pieces and fold into the slightly cooled chocolate ganache.

Step 12

Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the top of the cooled cake, allowing some to drip over the edges if desired.

Step 13

Let the ganache set for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
